Hosted by the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute, the theme of tonight's Republican presidential debate is foreign policy and national security.
The debate is being held at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C.
CNN is carrying the debate live at 8 p.m. EST.
Participating candidates are: businessman Herman Cain, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, Reps. Ron Paul (TX) and Michele Bachmann (MN), former Gov. Jon Huntsman, and former Sen. Rick Santorum.
normally i turn cnn off when Donna goes on.
CNN was pushing Paul tonight. They must be trying to damage the Republican brand.
An open ended commitment does no such thing, and it puts us in the position of having to shoot down all comers. We are not prepared to deal with the ramifications of doing so, and anyone who thinks so is speaking through their ten gallon hat. If a pilot punches out over Damascus due to mechanical troubles, how is he or she going to be rescued?
The over ten year no fly zone over Iraq was a disaster, and it did not prevent the massacre of the Marsh Arabs. It wore out our planes and our pilots, and made them targets daily. Massive stupidity, in my opinion.
Stop giving them the farm and they will leave. Just look at Alabama.
Yes, Newt was a major FAIL on illegals. He just lost this campaign.
Then, as I said, ALL solutions begin with controlling the borders.
The reason CNN says that is because they think we’re stupid enough to go out and blindly vote based on their analysis. That, and to perpetuate the myth that conservatives are ignorant. And Paul isn’t even conservative.
I just tuned in the young womans ? about al shaaab Bachmann is THE ONLY one that addressed it.To all those that bash Bachmann she is the only one on the stage with immediate intel.Perry is doing quite well.While anyone on that stage and George Jetson could do better than Obama.Bachmann,Perry,Cain,Newt in that order.
Newt’s doubling down after the debate and repeating that it is hard to kick out long term illegals. Someone in his staff needs to whisper in his ear and tell him to stop keep putting his foot in his mouth
Cain was right.
Newt just slammed her snake tongue in the door: Reports my demise were premature.
I understand... but then, I live in coastal southern California.... Hijole!!
After talk:
Gingrich is still talking to Borger about ‘legalization’ of many illegals who have been here many years.
[Just like McCain and the Comprehensive Immigration folk, that is AMNESTY. You can call it ‘legalization’ or whatever you want, but it is still AMNESTY when illegals are given ‘legalization’.]
The US does buy oil from Syria. I guess we are supporting the Muslim Brotherhood.
````
Empower the states to enforce the immigration laws which the federal government can’t .. REFUSES (to) do.
Fixed it.
Gotta disagree. Anytime you get access to air space weird things can happen.
And 10, 11 or 12 million doesn’t begin to describe the problem. There are over 30 million illegals here.
yes he did. I expect Newt to drop now. Cain will pick up. His answers were good tonight, especially the border!
He's the first one to shout that we need to enforce the laws currently on the books!
cnn spin doctors at work for the Democrat Party. Cnn is working for the Democrat Party.
Newt is to the left of Cain, Bachmann, and Romney on immigration. Bachmann actually has the highest grade from NumbersUSA.
